    So I've been to 2 large hypermarkets, and not spent a penny :T :T

    Very well done cw :T:T:T

    Well aiming for an NSD today, am hoping to get some clearing done in the small concrete patch that is where a garden should be (it's all getting covered in brambles, rockweed and that horrid green stuff that has a white 'horn' type flower and strangles everything). I have kind of left the brambles and rockweed for the last few years 'cos I think it's nice to have SOMETHING out there and often bees are seen around the brambles bur I went out there the other day and the access to the manhole is totally covered by brambles and my stepladder is almost invisible under horrid green strangly stuff :eek:

    Trouble is being concrete it's a total heat trap and it is just too hot at the moment so it's on the agenda for later. Am trying to get some paperwork done instead.

    Good luck to all today, will check in later :hello:

    DFD Need to August 2027 :(

    *is off the mark*

    NSD no 1 for me please! NSD no 2 will follow tomorrow, and hopefully 3rd on Monday (the bus fare is an incidental, so declaring NSD if it's only that spent - miracle if it is lol) Finished reading The Scarlet Letter - good but weird, and started Oliver Twist, but had to make myself stop so I could read on the train....hmm read on train or read book on laptop on train, decisions decisions.

    Need to set up screwdriver to triangulate everyone to get into TARDIS to go awaaaaay........*busily plays with screwdriver*


    I may be some time :o

    Hi folks, today is NSD number 3/13. I'm going to Mass shortly and will throw some shrapnel in the colection plate but i don't consider my meagre tithe to be an outgoing and never count it as a spend so yep, 3 NSD's for me! Yay!

    Eflen - glad you liked the scarlet letter! You're on a roll of great books.

    A very HSD for me! Bought OH part of his birthday present (a camera), which was about £170 including a case and memory card. Im not sure why we've gone totally overboard with presents this year - I guess we're treating ourselves as we havent been away anywhere together for ages and we didnt really do christmas last year. Ho hum...
